Weekly menus to mitigate the impact of climate change PDF Print E-mail

majasmatverkstad_logga_150.gifSwedish advocates have launched a new online service called Majas matverkstad that helps people to shop and cook more sustainably. Everyone in Sweden is welcome to take an active role in this project. People are invited to contribute with their favourite recipes. The recipes are then compiled into weekly menus with the following environmental aspects in mind: limited use of meat, regional and seasonal food, organically produced ingredients, fish marked as ‘green’ by WWF and waste minimisation.

The weekly menus can be transformed into shopping lists with the click of a button, either in advance on your computer or during your shop on a smartphone.

You can find the Google translated English version of the menus and the names of the advocates involved in the project here.
 
 
 
This project saw the Climate Advocates from the two countries working together successfully to promote the need to reduce carbon emissions and to highlight the fact that climate change crosses borders and in order to tackle it, people need to work together.
